TYING TIFFANY - DROP (out on ZerOKilled 03/14)
ORDER LIMITED EDITION VINYL HERE zerokilledmusicstore.com/album/drop

In the new album DROP, Tying Tiffany crafts her own brand of dark, icy dreamy pop, full of buzzing synths, piercing vocals, and infectious electro-beats. While maintaining that accessible pop factor, DROP finds inspiration in an eclectic mix of 90's electronica and chill-wave.

Tying Tiffany defies convention with her irresistible blend of post-punk, industrial and electronic music rooted in ethos of DIY and experimentations in the visual and performance arts. Working under the moniker since 2005, the project often reaches beyond the music and visuals to explore themes on dadaism, sexuality and feminist discourse. And even though the cited influences are extremely diverse there is an atmosphere of darkness that runs through each movement, creating a shadowy cohesion through her material.

Although a strong fixture in the Italian underground, years of intense touring have opened access to larger arenas including gigs with legends like The Buzzcocks and Iggy Pop as well as tracks featured in TV, Video Games and major Hollywood films (such as “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” trailers, CSI, FIFA). While Tying Tiffany may be able to appeal to the masses, her music and artwork remains rooted in the DIY and the nocturnal - a testament to the project's impressive flexibility.

Tying Tiffany - One End

This one is like a mysterious dark woodland to me. I also think of an old clock for some reason. Whatever it is, I get dark oak wood. Shut your eyes and tell me the images you see.

L'Avenir -  Les vieux jours

INTRODUCING: THE FLAG AND “OFF MUSIC”
BY NICK SYLVESTER

Let’s start with clarity, and reassurance: The Flag is not another Black Flag reunion band. 

The Flag, which is the artist Ted McGrath’s latest musical project, works in a tradition of New York I only know as 'off music'. A classic sound, turned inside-out. Monk was off. Liquid Liquid was off. Talking Heads were off. Rap was so off! Velvets--a thousand miles off. Even the Strokes were off, if only because *nothing* was off about the Strokes. 

His voice reminds me of weirdo New York crooners like Alan Vega and David Byrne and Sal Principato, though I find him more lovable. Rhythmically the music is very much indebted to stuff like Suicide and Liquid Liquid and On The Corner. Heavy stuff but again: Ted is the people’s champ. “Alpha 60 Punch Out” is the a-side. It’s built off an irresistible full-spectrum percussion loop that propels the song through six or seven distinct movements. On the flip is the introspective "Neighbors": a maximum-delay guitar number about a specific NYC rite of passage known as Getting Mugged.

If you’re playing Brooklyn Noise Bingo at home, this whole release--a teaser for what we hope will be more soon--is a gold mine. Ted played in These Are Powers and Antimagic, and his iconic messy visual style regularly appears on show posters and album covers around town. Jeremy Scott recorded both songs at Civil Defense right before Hurricane Sandy knocked him and many other friends of ours out of commission. Sarah Register of Talk Normal mastered both tracks at The Lodge, and gave them their impossible spread across the stereo field. “Alpha 60 Punch Out” b/w “Neighbors” is available digitally worldwide and on limited edition cassette at the GODMODE shop mid July.
